Description

While London and Paris were big production centers, books were also made elsewhere, with thriving scriptoria in the West Midlands and York, for example. French MSS were produced in Tours, Bourges and Rouen.This session will mainly discuss provincial makers of MSS with some reference to early printed books. Martha W. Driver
